Goldman Sachs economist on millions losing jobs to AI: They won’t be permanently wiped out

 Goldman Sachs economist Joseph Briggs forecasts AI could displace 9% of the US workforce, around 15 million jobs, drawing parallels to past tech disruptions. While acknowledging job losses in sectors like tech and consulting, he emphasizes history shows technology creates more new roles than it destroys. MIT’s Neil Thompson suggests AI adoption will be gradual, with partial automation being more common than outright job elimination. Goldman Sachs economist Joseph Briggs forecasts AI could displace 9% of the US workforce, around 15 million jobs, drawing parallels to past tech disruptions.
